Sea to Summit Triathlon
The Sea to Summit Triathlon combines the core elements of triathlon with aspects of an adventure race. Competitors use a designated support person or porter during the event. The course includes open-water swimming, a long road ride, and a mountain run that finishes at the tallest mountain in the Northeastern United States. The event is organized by New England Endurance Events and is based at Spring Hill Recreation Area in South Berwick, Maine.
The race distances and segments include:
- 1.2 miles swim
- 95 miles bike
- Run and climb to the summit of Mount Washington
Entry requires prior endurance experience. Individual athletes must have completed a non-abbreviated 140.6 triathlon or a 70.3 triathlon since Jan 1, 2022, with finishing times faster than 14:45 for a 140.6 or 6:30 for a 70.3. Athletes who finished Sea to Summit between 2016 and 2026 within that race’s time limits, those who qualified for the Ironman World Championships in the same 10 year period, and athletes with a current or former professional card are pre-qualified. Athletes must be at least 18 years old. Race directors may allow rare exceptions for comparable recent events but prior approval is required. Qualification standards for relay teams differ and registration materials provide details.
The event lists Habitat for Humanity as its charity partner and acknowledges support from agencies such as the US Forest Service and New Hampshire State Parks. Athletes have come from throughout the U.S. and other countries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
